Who do we believe?

While the Government spent much of this week claiming it had not been stealing businesses’ rapid antigen tests, the companies supplying those tests to the Government were telling businesses the opposite.

The Herald has confirmed that a minimum of 15 emails from two companies supplying Abbott tests were sent to businesses telling them the Government was diverting all test stock to itself.

New Zealand’s other major RAT supplier, Roche, has also said it told customers the Government had requested its orders be prioritised, although a formal prioritisation request was never made.

So who do we believe?
